Hi,

I am building a power supply for the xylotex board based on an 18V torrodial transformer. I've two 10000uf Capacitors on the DC side of the Bridge rectifier, which need to be discharged on power off. I was going to chuck in a 4.3K .25w resistor across the +/- lines to do this. Basic question - is this OK or some kind of lurking fire hazard?

Thanks
